Assignment of the rat genes coding for alpha 1-antitrypsin (PI), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FDP).

The chromosomal localization of four genes which are expressed mainly in the liver has been undertaken for the rat. Using a panel of hybrid clones segregating rat chromosomes, and Southern blot analysis, alpha 1-AT (PI), PEPCK, ADH and FDP are assigned to rat Chromosomes (Chr) 6, 3, 2 and 17, respectively. Groups of synteny among rat, mouse and human species are discussed in relationship to the new assignments.Journal ArticleResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov'tinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Assignment of the rat genes coding for phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT), and pyruvate kinase (PKL) to chromosomes 7, 19, 2, respectively.

A panel of hybrid clones segregating rat chromosomes in a mouse background was used to determine the chromosomal localization of three genes specifically expressed in hepatocytes. The phenylalanine hydroxylase, tyrosine aminotransferase, and pyruvate kinase genes were assigned to rat chromosomes 7, 19, and 2, respectively.Journal ArticleResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov'tinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Chromosomal assignment of 11 loci in the rat by mouse-rat somatic hybrids and linkage.

Eleven rat genes have been assigned to rat chromosomes by use of mouse x rat somatic hybrids and/or use of linkage to known chromosome markers. Among them, the genes for the inducible nitric oxide synthase (Nos2) and for a vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor (Vipr) are potential candidates for genetic regulation of blood pressure and were localized to rat Chromosomes (Chrs) 10 and 8 respectively. Genes for gastric H,K-ATPase alpha subunit (Atp4a), Class I alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh), and aldolase C (Aldoc) were localized to Chrs 1, 2, and 10 respectively, and thus provide more DNA markers for genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci for blood pressure on those chromosomes. Genes for alkaline phosphatase (Alp1) and cardiac AE-3 Cl-/HCO3- exchanger (Ae3) were both localized to Chr 9. Genes for glutamate dehydrogenase (Glud) and gastric H,K-ATPase beta subunit (Atp4b) were localized to Chr 16. The ornithine decarboxylase (Odc) gene and ornithine decarboxylase pseudogene (Odcp) were localized to Chrs 6 and 11 respectively.Journal ArticleResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov'tResearch Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
